The 2009 Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni - Androni Giocattoli team was presented
last week. The team of manager Gianni Savio has a strong team with Italian "veterans"
Gilberto Simoni and Davide Rebellin as team captains.

Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli is an Italian Professional Continental
Team and currently riding with a Venezuelan license. The main sponsor of the
team is Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni which is specialized in manufacturing doors
and frames. Co-sponsor Androni Giocattoli is a company that manufactures (children's)
toys.

Team
The team for 2009 is a very strong and balanced team. Team captains are former
Giro D'Italia winner Gilberto Simoni and 2008 Paris-Nice winner and classic
specialist Davide Rebellin. The goal for both riders is to do well in the Giro
D'Italia. Simoni wants to battle for the overall win while Rebellin is going
to hunt for stage wins, with hopes to wear the Maglia Rosa for at least one
day. Davide Rebellin has also set his focus on the World Championships in Mendrisio
later in the year. For Gilberto Simoni 2009 will be his last season as a professional.

Along with Rebellin and Simoni, another talented star is on the team, Alessandro
Bertolini. Bertolini won a stage in the Giro last year and was one of the best
riders of the team the year before when he won several of Italian Semi-Classics.

The team is also counting on talented Francesco Ginanni. Ginanni had a real
breakthrough year in 2008 with victories in the Giro del Veneto, Tre Valli Varesine
and the GP Industria e Commercio Artigianato Carnaghese.

The team has added some fast legs for the finishes with strong sprinters Alberto
Loddo (Tinkoff), Elia Rigotto (Milram) and Mattia Gavazzi (Preti Mangimi). Mattia
Gavazzi is one of the hot prospects for the future who won a stages in the Brixia
Tour, the Circuit de Lorraine, the Settimana Lombarda, and the Giro di Toscana
last season.

Another returning Italian rider in the team is Michele Scarponi.
Scarponi who joined the team in August 1, 2008 after serving a doping suspension
is up to battle again for victories in the Italian races.

Goals
The big goal of the team will be the Giro D'Italia. Gilberto Simoni, once again
will be back to go battle for his third overall win in his career. He will be
supported by Michele Scarponi.

The team has enough talented riders who will be capable of winning stages with
Alessandro Bertolini, Davide Rebellin, Francesco Ginanni and others. The team
is also hoping for a wild card for the Vuelta a Espana in September.
